Request a ride? Gimme a break....if someone got on my jumpseat and "requested" a ride I might deny it just on the principle that you don't request to do anything....Its a privilege not a right and you don't request it you very politely ask if you can hitch a ride if its alright with them. As for the medical you give them whatever they ask for. If they want to see your drivers license you give it to them. If they want to see your passport you give it to them, they have the final say.

Ah, CRJ FO
First unless your quals have changed, it's not your jumpseat. Second it's a good thing it's not your jumpseat as your an idiot. people show up after working international flights with lengthy duty days, or regional schedules with multiple legs and long duty days, and some *&^%head like you is going to split hairs over the verbage of how they asked for a ride home. Man, I hope i get the chance to have you dance on the cockpit carpet for me. what a tool.

English as a second language perhaps?
According to Webster, there is no difference between requesting or asking.
Main Entry: 1re·quest
Pronunciation: ri-'kwest
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English requeste, from Anglo-French, from Vulgar Latin *requaesta, from feminine of requaestus, past participle of requaerere to require
1 : the act or an instance of asking for something
2 : something asked for <granted her request>

If I worked with him I think I would have to school him on the differences of requesting and asking.

Because you are not just riding the jumpseat you are an Extra Crew Member (XCM). If you don't have a valid medical...you're not a crew member. Also on my flight I may ask to see your ALPA card if you are from an ALPA carrier.
